A traditional Cuban Sandwich has pork, ham, pickles, Swiss and mustard. Since we have a lot of leftover turkey from the holiday, I decided to swap the pork for turkey and wrap it all in puff pastry. Let me tell you, these Turkey Cuban Pastry Puffs were DELICIOUS! One bite and we were both in heaven!

These Turkey Cuban Pastry Puffs can be made ahead of time and frozen. If you freeze them, let them thaw for about an hour or so before brushing them with the egg wash and baking.

I am a sucker for a good Italian casserole and this Italian Noodle Casserole is no exception. It was AMAZING! It is kind of like a combination of my Amish Country Casserole and my Cream Cheese Lasagna. There are elements of each casserole in this recipe, and it is fan-freaking-tastic! Hamburger, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, tomato sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheese. All my favorites in one dish!

This recipe makes a good bit of food. It was enough for us to have it for dinner and reheated for lunch and dinner the next night. This would also make a great freezer meal. Assemble the casserole, cover it with foil and freeze it unbaked. When you are ready to cook the casserole, let it thaw in the fridge all day and then bake it. You may need to add a few minutes to the baking time if the casserole isn't 100% thawed when you put it in the oven.

This Baked Feta was inspired by a local pizza place. It is so simple, yet it tastes amazing. I ate way too much of this dip. Feta marinated overnight in olive oil and herbs and then baked. SOOO good! It makes a fantastic holiday party appetizer!

I marinated the feta in a ziplock bag and let it hang out in the fridge overnight before baking it. If you don't have that much time, just marinate it as long as you can before baking.

We served the feta with some festive bread slices. I used some canapé bread tubes to make the star shapes. I put a can of refrigerated French bread in the tube and baked it. Once it had cooled, I sliced it into thin slices. It makes a fun presentation! If you don't want to buy the bread tubes, you can serve the Baked Feta with some regular French bread or crackers.

Lemon Chess Cheesecake Pie - two favorites in one dessert! Quick cheesecake layer on the bottom and a delicious homemade lemon chess pie on top! Pie crust, cream cheese, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, lemon juice, lemon rind, flour, cornmeal. Can make ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with fresh homemade whipped cream. SO good! A MUST for your holiday meal!!

We always have pie at the holidays and this Lemon Chess Cheesecake Pie is a MUST. Y'all, this is SO good. I am not a big fan of sweets, but this Lemon Chess Cheesecake Pie kept calling me to the fridge to take a bite. O-M-G!

This pie combines two of my favorites into one - cheesecake and Lemon Chess Pie. Not super sweet, just super delicious. This was so easy to make and can be made a few days ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve. It actually tastes better after it has been in the refrigerator overnight. As I said earlier, this pie is to-die-for! It is a must for your holiday meal. Trust me!

We served the pie with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. To make the whipped cream, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla. Make sure the heavy cream is really cold before whipping. I also like to chill my mixing bowl!
